Number of trips per hour of day split by weekday and weekend
Place analysis
Visits per tile
Points outside the given tessellation: 18
The following statistics give insights into the distribution of the visits over the tiles (mean, min, max and quartiles)
- whether there are tiles that are visited more often than others or if the visits are distributed equally over all tiles.

A different way of visualizing the distribution of visits over tiles is achieved by the cumuluated sum of all visits: If only a few tiles include most of all visits, the curve has a steep increase in the beginning and a flat part at the end.
If the visits are distributed equally over the entire tiles the line is a straight diagonal.
The number and percentage of flows that start and end within the same tile.
229472.0 (16.19 %) of flows start and end within the same cell.
A large number of intra-cell flows either indicate round-trips
(e.g., going running starting and ending at the home location)
or a tessellation that is to coarse to properly capture flows.

Time between two consecutive trips of a user
How much time passes between two consecutive trajeoctories?
This information gives insights on the temporal density of the dataset.
Trajectories might follow each other consecutively, then the time inbetween only is as long as the stay duration at that place.
If the trips are only collected sparsely there might be days between single trips of a user.
This analysis is based on the assumption that trips of a user follow each other consecutively and do not overlap,
i.e., the start time of a following trip cannot start before the previous one has ended.
Therefore, we first perform a plausibility check to ensure that no user trips overlap.
Otherwise this might be an indication for a faulty dataset.
Plausibility check: overlapping user trips
There are 1 cases where the start time of the following trip precedes the previous end time.
If there are overlapping trips present in the dataset the minimum time between trips will be negative.

Location entropy
Location entropy (based on Shannon Entropy) captures the diversity of user visits.
If most trips to a certain location originate from a single (or few) user the entropy is low.
A high entropy suggests that the place is visited by diverse users evenly. A dataset with many cells with high visit counts but low entropy suggests, that single users drive certain mobility patterns that might not be representative for other users.

Mobility Entropy
The Mobility Entropy (based on Shannon Entropy) characterizes the heterogeneity of the users visitation patterns (including the historical probability that a location was visited by the user).
